As I've already told you on IRC a few minutes ago, you're not addressing
one important point here, although I generally agree with you.
Yes, writing and sending in patches is (or rather, could be) a very
simple thing -- alas, it is also frustrating to see when you do, and the
patches won't get applied, for various reasons I'll leave out, since I
do not want to point any fingers here and thus start another flame war.
Just consider it. You spend a sunny Saturday tracking down a bug that is
apparently particular to your system (for whatever reason), you find it,
you fix it, you create a patch, you send it in -- and nothing happens.
And to top it off, you get (NOT!!! from a core team member, mind you) as
an answer "well, I wouldn't be interested in applying patches for a
system I don't use, either".
Kinda frustrating, don't you agree?
